The Ice Chalet has a long tradition of skaters and teachers who built professional careers in touring ice shows, cruise productions, and performance companies around the world.
Beginning with Robert Unger's decision to stay in Knoxville after a successful touring experience with Holiday On Ice, many Ice Chalet skaters found success in productions such as Disney On Ice, cruise line shows, and other professional entertainment companies.
Robert Unger toured for many years with Holiday On Ice in Europe and the United States, often performing with his wife, Rosemarie.
When he left the touring show in 1963 to begin teaching in Knoxville, he received a strong recommendation as both a skater and teacher from Tommy Collins, then manager of Holiday On Ice and later creator of Champions On Ice.
